What would you like to see in a Fantasy Universe?

Guest

I'll be brief.

I'm looking for a means to work on my writing skills and to keep myself occupied. With school nearing completion I've been hit with a load of free time. So I decided I'm going to write up a whole universe, specifically darker fantasy setting as opposed to the 'high fantasy' realms most people are accustomed too (Lord of the Rings vs Warhammer / Dragon Age).

With this in mind, what would people like to see in a new realm of fantasy lore? I'd like to know what kind of worlds people are craving these days and I figured Aeria was the best place to ask.

And for future reference I am in no way trying to divide the playerbase, or resurrect MousePie or anything of the sort, so don't worry.

If you want darker, try looking at the days of the Bubonic Plague. At least, that's the inspiration I would try to draw from.

Some sort of apocalyptic scenario could be nice and dark. I reserve the rights to a fantasy medieval zombie apocalypse setting, but you can think of something else, I'm sure.

Ive always wanted to read a story about fantasy meeting modern times some way, and not just in the usual secretive fashion. A complete blending of worlds out of the blue and seeing how our world reacts. Be a bit cheesy, maybe, but I'd be interested.

i was running an Rp once that involved D&D in the modern day and the players played as operatives sent out to handle monsters and stuff. Like one mission they had to take on a gang of bugbears, gnolls, and kobolds in the slums of a big city. Pretty much D20 modern. Priests that turned out to be illithids, and all that jazz.

Oh nice, you actually got SHI-CHI-RO right. And all in the same syllabary.

That's more impressive than it should be.
